MAE Courses

MAE 100 Computer Aided Design

4 credits; 4 hours This course introduces the student to AutoCAD’s friendly pulldown menus as a tool to create graphical representations of objects. The course covers introduction of dimensioning systems, fundamentals of orthographic views of real-world objects, and basic two-dimensional drafting techniques. The course includes the creation of three-dimensional objects and their modification by changing the rendering options, material and lighting properties. Views of assemblies and animations are also considered. Pre- or Corequisite: CSE095, ENA/ENG/ESA099/ENC101, MAT096 Syllabus: Download

MAE 101 Engineering Lab I

1 credit; 3 hours (lab) This is the first of two engineering laboratory courses. Students meet once a week and are introduced to engineering design through hands-on laboratory work using computer applications. They are taught how to carry out basic structural analysis; in particular, they are introduced to programming a robot to perform a specific task. Additionally, they work in groups on design projects and are expected to use computers for documentation, for data analysis, and for maneuvering the robots. Prerequisite: MAT200 Syllabus:Download
